Why did JK Rowling say this?

>>213874952 (OP)
>aint she write
Kill all blacks today

>>213874952 (OP)
Because it's the obvious and deserved conclusion based on the characters' relationships and dynamics and she let her own story on unrequited love influence how the love story in her book unfolded instead of honouring the direction the story had paved.

Okay but who does Ron end up with?
The girl he dumped and later she died defending the school?

What's hard to understand here? It's not like Rawling can jsut go back and change the milions of books and severla movies already made

I don't think she actually said that

She did. In a 2014 interview with Wonderland.

>“I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That’s how it was conceived, really,” Rowling says in the interview. “For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.”
>“I know, I’m sorry,” she adds. “I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I’m absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people’s hearts by saying this? I hope not.”
Emma Watson agreed too.
>“I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy,” Watson says in the interview.

Was ginny way more important in the books or something? I don't remember the books, but she barely appears in the movies, except to show up and be an annoying little school girl every once in a while. and she fucked up insanely hard in chamber of secrets

Yet it seems like the fanbase simps for her and love pairing her with harry

>>213875434
>Was ginny way more important in the books or something?
No she's barely a character other than randomly becoming Harry's love interest in a very poorly-written way once Rowling decided that the characters needed to pair off. If anything it's worse in the books.

>>213875434
No. Harry/ginny was a bad direction in the books also.

That's because Ron is a useless piece of comic relief in the movies, people who read the books wouldn't think so

>>213875434
No, she was a C-tier character that ended up with Harry because Rowling needed to pair him with someone and Ron had dibs on Hermione so she was the next one up

>aint she write the damn book?
What language is that?

>>213874952 (OP)
Rowling wrote herself into a corner. She should have made Hermione and Harry cousins or something similar.

It’s clear she wanted Harry to marry Ron’s sister so that all three characters would end up as part of the same family.

That being said, J is an idiot, authors change their minds after writing something all the time.For example, George R. R. Martin has said he regrets killing one character, and Tolkien famously was uncertain about the origin of the orcs.

>>213875666
>That being said, J is an idiot

>>213875666

>>213874952 (OP)
Because she hated ron and ron was meant to die in the chess sequence in book 1 and nobody would care. I'm guessing that she got talked out of doing this and then once the movies took on a life of their own she was bound by the whims of retarded women who thought ron was cute. All the romance in the series is incredibly shallow and forced and isn't motivated or lead to any growth. Cho Chang is probably the worst example. Harry is literally a rebound because her last boyfriend died. The only thing we know about Harry and Ginny as a romantic match is that Ginny has spent the last few years starstruck. She doesnt' even smile in Harrys presence and often I wonder if Harry really gives a fuck either. Then there's Hermione treating Ron like a retard for the whole series until Ron starts seeing Lavender Brown and then all of a sudden Hermione is some kind of tortured jealous cunt even though they have nothing in common and Hermione has pulled far greater in the past. And to insult the audience even more they continue to hang the carrot of Harry x Hermione in the Deathly Hallows until the very end.

>George R. R. Martin has said he regrets killing one character
He will never say it but he most likely regrets so many decisions that if he could, he'd re-write the entire saga from scratch

And if he was allowed to do so, we'd probably get Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring within a couple of years. He's the prime example of writing himself into a corner after introducing way too many characters, fucking up the pacing of old storylines and not having nearly enough writing space or ideas to wrap it all up

>>213875666
Rowling wrote herself into a coomer???

>>213876169
Snape was an evil person in the books, he was a sadistic bully who got up to work to abuse and beef with 12 year old children. Being on the right side in the war because he was still in love with some broad from 20 years back doesn't make him a good person

Movies changed a lot of his characterization so he ended up being just stern and super serious rather than abusive

The problem is even in the books, everything in harry potter has to be epic, nothing normal ever happens, dumbledore never goes into the magic restrooms and takes a mean shit, and for that reason it becomes unbelievable and there is no gravity to whatever happens.

>>213876316

Huh. Apparently I somehow gaslit myself into thinking he did. I'm reading this thread and going "Ginny? Who the fuck is Ginny? I don't remember any Ginny, Harry married Luna."

>>213874991
No it's not. Harry is boring as fuck, uninspired, introverted, and kind of a retard. Ron and Hermione are both strong-willed, ambitious, clever, and dynamic. They're a much better match.

>>213874952 (OP)

One of the main three should have died in the finale. Since Harry is the hero and Hermoine is the only girl, it should have been Ron.

From there, a happy ending would have been Harry wifing up a girl who is actually an interesting/good person unlike Ginny. Picrel.

Or for a bittersweet ending, Harry marries Hermione but they're not 100% in love. They just have lots of shared trauma and can't really move past their school years. Maybe the next bad guy arises because Harry becomes a teacher to stay in Hogwarts instead of being an auror or taking a leadership role to improve the wizarding world.

just want a gf who looks like this.

>>213875405
>“I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy,” Watson says in the interview.
This comment says more about Emma's conceit than anything about the story. I've dated this type of girl before, they're too good for reality and they either settle for money or end up unmarried with a long string of guys who got tired of her shit behind them in their late 30s like her.

>>213874968
Ain't is a southern word, not a black one. It can mean, among many things, is not, are not, did not, has not, and will not.
So his sentence, when translated for autistic retards, reads as "did not she write the books". Which is a perfectly valid sentence, though more closely related to the cadence of Shakespeare or the King James Bible than modern grammar.

He's a brusque, tall, funny, clever athletic star.

>>213874952 (OP)
Hermione is Rowling's self-insert.
Ron is based of her childhood friend/crush.
Harry is pretty much her fictional ideal son.

So yes naratively speaking she admits Harry+Hermione should have happened but personally she couldn't choose that path. Hence Ron+Hermione being teased from Book 4 onwards while she pairs her Harry with Stacy #1 then Stacy #2.

Honestly Luna would've been a good practice girl for Harry. They should've gone with that. She would've been the perfect girl for Harry to lose his virginity to.

I fucked her, sorry

i don't know because i don't think there was much chemistry between harry and hermione. hermione and ron had more, it's in the books. i guess rowling meant she should have written the books differently?

My ideal ending would have been Luna and Hermione ending up together. The eighth book and ninth movie would have heavily explored clam slamming in the world of magic. Honestly we were robbed, think off all the potential there. We read all those books and watched all those movies but never got the payoff we all wanted and deserved. The most I can rate this franchise is a C+ since the lack of scissoring witches and magical strap on.

>>213879051
Even if she's a completely asexual freak, Harry isn't. He could've easily convinced her. Harry's her friend she would've done it to help him out

>>213875434
It's badly written and not really set up in the books, but it's very lightly mentioned that both of them being directly possessed by part of voldemorts soul gave them a shared experience that none of the other characters could relate too. It's barely brought up but it's essentially the only thing they have in common (given ginny has NO OTHER CHARACTERIZATION)

>>213878499
the best girl should only be with the best guy, i understand exactly what she's saying.

>>213875434
She literally doesn't fucking do anything except randimly show up sometimes and then have ONE (1) scene with the most forced and unnatural sexual tension imaginable between her and Harry. Keep in mind Harry considers Ron's family the family he never got to have and has spent like four summers at this point with them.

>>213875666
Tolkien disliked the origins of the orcs because he realized later in life that "the Satan analogue created sentient life with souls that are always irredeemably evil" REALLY did not gel with his Catholic beliefs about the ability to choose for yourself and the primacy of God. Even the Dwarves were not really alive until his alternatively-named Big G gave them real souls. So he retconned the orcs as being elves from the birth of the world that Morgoth kidnapped and twisted into monsters.

guys i don't mean to alarm you but there are coons & frogs in this thread as we speak

>>213875868
Because it was a badly-planned children's series without much thought put into the implications of creating an objectively evil group that only outwardly evil children are put into until people started pointing that out later.

>>213879844
>the best guy
Harry sucks though. He's a boring, uninteresting person, which makes sense as the protagonist if you're an amateur writer who is sticking to a basic story structure. He's a milquetoast "just a guy" that serves as a vehicle into the world. He's also immature and petty, overly emotional, slight, and of middling to low intelligence. Every single one of the Weasely brothers is a "better man" in a traditional sense than him. The only thing he has is that he's really good at catching a snitch and just happens to be the only person immune to the big bad.

I went to a local zoo (free) and was in front of a giant snake behind glass. Like that Harry Potter scene. There was a nigress there too, so I asked if she ever watched Harry Potter. It was the most awkward thing in the world because she was probably genuinely an IQ retard. I had to explain what Harry Potter was and that I was talking about the movie snake, not the snake we were looking at. I'm surprised she could use words and not just grunts.

People are bitching about "oh he was a self insert of her and her crush!" I don't mind it, because clearly it was inspirational to Rowling and what came out of it was a character who was loveable and funny, who you root for when he faces a struggle. The way he's written reminds me of Merry/Pippin, just a good lad in over his head but pushing through.

I think the movies and the casting choices messed a lot with how people felt that pairings should go down. Main example would be Hermione, who got various of the book scenes that made Ron look clever or good for herself and how touchy feely she was played in regards to Harry. IMO Luna was another example of casting choices making people feel differently about the character.
That being said, given Rowling's penchant to name characters in the most hamfisted way possible, like naming Harry's asian girlfriend Ching Chong, I'm kinda surprised that a female character named "Lovegood" wasn't intended to be the town bike of Hogwarts.

okay, the pool is limited. do you choose the student whose saved your life a shitload of times and looks like daniel radcliff and gets a "succesful career" (government job lmao) and becomes known as one of the most famous wizards of all time, oh and youve spent a CONSIDERABLE amount of time with this person.

or the other student who, uh, runs a gag gift shop and is goofy. not saying its impossible, but come on.

i like the internet crazies who can't tell the difference. Tumblr hambeasts tracking down Tom Felton's family members, latching on to any connection that makes them remotely similar to the Malfoys.

>>213883409
Because of the movies, they changed the relationships of the characters.

>>213883525
maybe boys 'choose' girls too, incel-anon.

i mean book Hermione is all buck-toothed and unattractive. a good friend, even. when Harry first sees Cho Chang he thinks she's 'rather pretty' or whatever, in his internal monologue. not saying attraction is purely looks OR status/job/whatever, but it IS all over the place.

>>213875058
Yes.

>>213883574
and they made Ron a useless retard, in the books he's fun, awesome and the ultimate best friend.

I read the before watching the movies so I guess by then my perception of the characters was already shaped by the books

Yeah as kid I never analyzed the differences between the movies and books much but Ron feeling more foolish was something that did stand out

Holy fuck. That would've torpedoed the Ron actor's confidence.

>>213883996
it's pretty vague in the book. i mean it's an apparition to prey on their teenage sexual jealousy obviously, but it just says something about their bodies coiled around each other like snakes.

i enjoyed the books but AS a teenager i wondered what was censorship/restrictions, and what was an author being thick as pigshit when it came to male sexuality.

>>213884099
I can understand where you're coming from, but in my opinion, that's more a shortcoming of the production than the actor's. Whenever Rupert was given things to do, he nailed it.

>>213883640
im basically only talking about the movie portrayals, since this was sorta focused around the actors portrayal. ive seen enough comments mentioning how different book ron is, so thats fine, but movie ron isnt book ron.

>>213884485
yeah fair. movie Ron is just boring, there's zero chemistry between them. what little "Hermione is a haughty swot" there is, i don't buy for a second every lad at that school wouldn't have a crush on her. even the chavvier/sportier types. they WROTE her less insufferable, it's weird.

She wrote it, doesn't mean that she didn't miss the obvious growth and changes that occurred, particularly in the last 2 movies/book whatever. Harry's love interests were always short sighted or skin deep, which well, is like a lot of the series, as enjoyable as it is.

>Rowling wrote herself into a corner. She should have made Hermione and Harry cousins or something similar.

Originally Harry grew up with Hermione as his stepsister as Rowling released very early notes saying something about Hermione's father finding Harry after his parents were killed. This got dropped in favor of the Dursleys, of course.

Ron was based off J.K.'s ex-husband, that's why.

>>213879844
Ron was literally twice the man Harry was though but it actually tracks that women would prefer Harry since he's written from a woman's warped perspective of a "successful" man is (i.e. a Mary Sue - in the actual original feminine sense where every other character thinks the given character is great and constantly asks "where's poochie")

>>213888618
ron and luna make no sense at all
they have nothing in command and almost never interact. its even more stupid than harry and ginny

>>213888492
ron was groomed by his family to accept the 'dumber bumbling husband' and brasher, know-it-all type A archetype that harry doesn't have. She's also too autistic to deal with harry's own emotional autism and trauma

AGE GAP
THERE'S A FUCKING AGE GAP BETWEEN HARRY AND GINNY

>>213888658
>to accept
Neither Ron nor Harry accepted the know-it-all archetype. I can also argue that Ron hates it more than Harry.
In canon fact, it's ron the only one pointing this out.
Your argument is mute.

>>“I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy,” Watson says in the interview.
Why are they like this? It's one thing for JK to say the story set up Harry and Hermione much better but for Watson to step in and say "yeah Ron fucking sucks and gives me the ick" is something different

>>213889794
because she's a thot that has to make herself feel important despite being rich beyond belief

Harry Potter is for women and faggots.

We all know what happened in that tent

>>213890009
I really find this scene very fascinating.
The later films were already running out of time to adapt plot points from the books, and yet they decide to invent scenes.
This dance is a kind of swan song to the made up moments between Harry and Hermione for the films. The filmmakers basically admitted they wanted to plant the "what if" question. Which is why the final shot of the dance is a near-kiss. They wanted to sell the idea that if Ron weren't in the way, something could have happened between them. When in the source material... that never happened.

It must also be the reason why Harry's "She's like my sister" was cut, despite being filmed.

>>213890551
That tent dancing was tense enough to feel like a sex scene with the way they built it up and it being symbolic to sex

>>213874952 (OP)

Emma Watson clearly didn't read the books then

though she's right about the movie version of Ron, but only because all of his good traits (and several of HARRY's good traits) were taken away and given to Hermione

It's because the romantic angle is utterly irrelevant to the story
Rowling hasn't yet realised this, because she's a woman, and "gets married, lives happily ever after" is how she thinks stories should end - but she accidentally wrote a boy's adventure story, where all that matters is the hero triumphing

I would have chosen for Harry to die at Voldy's hand (permanently). Sort of like poetry seeing as how Harry survived his attack as a baby, but this time he dies along with Voldy's last whorecrux thereby eliminating them both. This way Harry can go be in the afterlife with literally all of his loved ones. Maybe have Luna preggo with Harry Jr. which could make for more books/movies later on.
